Who we are and why
Purpose-Farms was started from unexpected circumstances. After global affairs effecting simply going out and shopping, we started to see how fragile our society was and the simple challenge it was to get healthy food.
I started growing Microgreens for my family and friends because I wanted to grow nutritious food that was sustainable, organic, and free from chemicals. I explored options and quickly understood that Microgreens was the leader, hands down. The amount of vitamins per volume was off the charts. A small amount could supply the nutrients a person needed for the whole day.
In 2020 using a single grow rack with lights, I began my journey. There were the usual struggles which were all learning opportunities and in time I became a decent hobby farmer. I enjoyed the hobby so much I jokingly threatened to leave my career of 28 years to pursue a farming life. One day I realized I was no longer happy with my career and was disappointed that my future outlook showed nothing but the same no matter what ladders I climbed. I wondered what my Purpose was.
My joking threats would soon become reality and overnight I wanted to grow food with my family. Not just any food, I wanted to grow food with a Purpose. A Super-food that could be added to our daily diet and was as natural as it gets. I don’t see this as a business, I see it as a way to help my fellow man live a healthy and full life. The amount of junk processed food we all consume is saddening. I hope that everyone can become more accustomed to eating locally grown healthy foods and see how amazing our bodies can function, heal, and perform when fed the right foods.
